THE ONE GADGET WE WANTED

WHEN WE WERE YOUNGER WAS...

1. “A Tamagotchi but my parents refused to get me one – I think they were afraid of how I’d handle it when it inevitably died.” – Ng Yi-Di


2. “A Game Boy Color because I’ve always envied my cousins when they joined forces for a Pokémon battle using this device but my mum never
   allowed me to have one as I was growing up. Till today, this will be the ideal gadget I’d want to have for a li’l creative freedom.” – Amalina Anuar


3. “One of those robotic dogs because I wasn’t allowed to get a real one back then. I’m happy my parents said no cos it was too expensive and I
   would have gotten bored of it really quick!” – Rachel Dulis


4. “A Nintendo Wii – it looked like a fun alternative to sports (minus the sun)! My parents probably thought that I’d be better off doing other things
   like bowling, running and boxing IRL and so I never ended up getting mine.” – Nabila Azlan


5. “A DSLR. I knew it was a huge purchase, but I still hinted at my father, hoping that he’d surprise me with one. Unfortunately, he never did, so I
   ended up getting it for myself a few years later using my own pay cheque (which I saved for months!).” – SJ Lim


6. “An electric toy car, but all I had were the ones where you have to stick your feet out and ‘drive’ them yourself. Now, I just give my niece a death
   stare every time I see her riding in her swanky red McLaren P1 that comes fitted with air-conditioning and a USB port for music!” – Tammy Chan


7. “A Kindle, but I didn’t end up buying one because it was too expensive. However, as luck would have it, I won one at a lucky draw five years later
   although until today, I can count the amount of times I’ve used it on one hand!” – Vasenta Selvanayagam


8. “The PalmPilot, which was something like a digital notebook that you can use to browse the internet. It was super slow, of course, seeing how technology
   back then wasn’t what it is today. So thank god I couldn’t afford it, otherwise that would’ve been a complete waste of money!” – Sarah Hani Jamil


9. “An electronic dictionary since carrying a physical dictionary to school was a torture. Sadly, my teachers decided to ban the device because it was
   useless so all my friends who got it ended up using it as a paperweight at home!” – Elaine Loke
